Whites Rd/ Nicholson St ....same one maybe.... Green Star Fish Bar ?
I can also remember one down Durban Rd and one half way down North Sea Lane , both now just plain houses. The one down Carr Lane which is now a pizza takeaway.
It was just off a corner but, sounds about right Also the one Tiverton st used to be good. Not sure about now

I know the discussion of Chippys does the rounds on here from time to time and taping about them now provided a distraction from thinking about that ducking carrot crunching charlatan...
Has anyone mentioned the Carlton yet? Tivvo St chippy used to be great, not sure if it is now like.
Perhaps they picked Papas becauee they knew nobody but he odd tourist would be in there?

Meggies chippy just around the corner from the Seawave is reputedly very good, but I've not tried them as yet.
Never tried them either, Suppose Seawave is better than that place on the other side of the laser quest called Harry Ramsbottoms. He must be ramming the fish and chips up his bottom because it bloody tastes like it. What was the chippy on Bentley Street called a while back? Chirpy Chippy or something?, think it's just a house now but can still see where we'd stand outside as kids with chips in a cone.

That one on William St had been on the go for years then new owners took it over and bought in the cheapest stuff they could buy imo, lasted about a year after that.
Me and my mate used to go to the Humber St one on the way home from the Smuggs, lovely couple ran it. Think he had something to do with angling.
Then there's the one at the "Top Shops" the guy that had a secret camera in the loo.
Wasn't he a Leeds fan? Nuff said. Used to live near there and it was always OK (in the 70s) but not the best around.

The pea bung is still going and as good as it ever was
Excellent news. Next time I'm up I will make a pilgrimage and pay honour to my late old lady who used to love it. The Park St chippy was recommended to me by mu niece's husband but when we went I couldn't finish them, which saying a lot for me. I live down South for God's sake. People who have lived in the Arctic and haven't been to a decent chippy in years take pity on me and let me go first in Grimsby chippies.

Yeah KM, the guy running the Top Shops chippy had a Leeds scarf proudly displayed on wall behind the counter.

Top Shops , same guy still runs it i think , that was my local growing up when Brian and his little Mrs ran it for years. I know some on here have been sl@gging off the invasion of fish patties but i used to have them all the time from there 30+ years ago so to me they arent a yorkshire invasive species
If i am not mistaken, a proper fish pattie as sold {or used to be} in our area is two large slices of potato with fish in the middle, battered and fried, whilst the so called yorkie fish pattie is what we in this area would call a fishcake Please feel free to correct me if im wrong.

I did a thread on here yonks ago about the back street chip shops that had gone from the town , even just in that small area of Cleethorpes......Williams St, Humber St , Brighton St , Nicholson St, Bentley St.... all gone.
The one on Brighton St is soon to open as a Thai Takeway if Graham ever gets it finished.

Wot's olloways gotta do with the price of fish (or chips)?
Talking of which...who remembers 99p fish n chips from Fish n Chick?
Steele's is still the undisputed champion of fish n chips for me. Jumbo addock, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter, pot of tea 🏆
